- Conduct detailed circuit design, simulations, and verification of Highly Linear Amplifiers, Bias blocks, Switches, DFX, Digital I/O, LDO’s, ADCs and DACs.
- Optimize designs for power, performance, and area, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
- Work with digital design and design verification teams on block and system integration and verification.
- Supervise layout and conduct post-layout simulations, documentation, and design reviews.
- Perform lab evaluation and debug, and provide test development and guidance to test evaluation teams.
What you'll need
- MSEE or equivalent with 10+ years of relevant experience.
- Expertise in Highly Linear Amplifiers, Bias blocks, Switches, DFX, Digital I/O, LDO’s, ADCs and DACs.
- Extensive experience with and advanced knowledge of Cadence design, simulation, layout, and verification tools for analog and mixed-signal designs.
- Solid understanding of semiconductor basics, including device physics of CMOS transistors, diodes, MIM capacitors, integrated inductors, and implanted resistors.
- Strong intuitive and analytical understanding of transistor-level design, with working knowledge of small signal and large signal CMOS device models.
- Experience characterizing and debugging mixed-signal designs.
Nice to have
- Analog/digital behavioral modelling expertise.
- High Voltage Design Experience.
- Multi-Die Sip Level Laminate Expertise.
- Experience with analog and digital behavioral modeling, design, and synthesis of digital control blocks and state machines.
- Experience leading teams and/or projects.
